I admit, the Nutrisystem cookie sandwiches are not my favorite ( neither are Oreos) but I ordered some again anyway. This time I didn't dip them in milk....I mixed them in milk and with a couple other teaspoons of this and that, I made a cookies n cream mug cake. It was a fun new way to enjoy a dessert that normally I would not like.
It was easy to make and only took about 5 minutes from start to finish. Add another 10 minutes trying to take a perfect photo. Ha!
If your not on Nutrisystem, use Oreos or something. Im sure it will be just as good.
I chose to keep it healthy. It turned out a little dry but good.
Nutrisystem Cookies n Cream Mug cake
4 Tablespoons- All purpose Flour
1/4 teaspoon- baking Powder
1/4 cup- mini chocolate chips (this is your sugar)
4 tablespoons- milk (I used 2%)
1/2 tablespoon - vegestable oil
2 cookies
In a mug or remkin, melt chocolate chips and milk together in microwave.
Add remaining ingredients.
Mix until smooth.
Fold in crushed cookies.
Microwave for 1 minute.
Enjoy
Im not sure what the Nutrisystem count is for this recipe, but I think its a dessert and one smart carb.
I am so glad I am not tempted by desserts. My Sherry loves sweet stuff (me) and Chocolate + chocolate+some chocolate. HA!
ReplyDeleteYes I enjoy reading your experiments with food, 'tis fun!
ENJOY (Love the truth about the perfect photo!)
I love sweets but I'd take a slice of bread over a cookie any day. I'm not a big candy eater though.
Deletelooks nice
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI'd noticed in the past that Slim Fast & a few other well known weight loss names add sugar to the ingredients of many of their products that are not even treats. Having come from a family where diabetes is prevalent I've always kept it a bit lower carb(though not truly low). Does Nutrisystem add sugars as well?
ReplyDeleteI do once in a while eat a Quest cookies & cream protein bar which is low carb & very good.
Yes Nutrisystem has sugar but they do have a specialy designed diabetic plan. Yes slim fast is terrible with sugar.
DeleteSimple enough. Thanks. (thanks also for the possibilities)
ReplyDeleteAnything is possible with chocolate!
DeleteNot a big oreo or chocolate fan. But this looks simple and yummy if i were.
ReplyDeleteMe either. Something about the black choclate thats bitter to me and I dont like it on my teeth.
